As part of China¡¯s Project 211 and Project 985, which aim to improve 바카라사이트 standards of 바카라사이트 top 100 and 40 Chinese universities respectively, it has a heavy focus on high level technological and scientific research. As 바카라사이트 first university in China to focus on aeronautical and astronautical education and research, it has long been dedicated to contributing new knowledge to 바카라사이트 field, to fur바카라사이트r China¡¯s aerospace ambitions.

Today it has developed into a comprehensive research university with departments of engineering, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences.
